WATCH: SKYND – ‘Elisa Lam’

Freakishly catchy: industrial duo SKYND‘s debut single ‘Elisa Lam’ is a mad medley of electronics and warped vocals. The track is named after the tragic death of Elisa Lam, whose demise at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles in 2013 is still shrouded in mystery.

The track is accompanied by a haunting video (directed by TallyHo!) which depicts the mysterious events surrounding Elisa’s final moments. Whilst the context is undoubtedly morbid, SKYND’s treatment of the material is weirdly watchable.

The duo write songs about mystical, inexplicable and brutal criminal cases, which is a warped source of inspiration. Speaking of ‘Elisa Lam’ and their upcoming singles, SKYND have said: “Listening to these tracks, you should feel like you’re in a tiny room and the walls are closing in from all sides.” That’s definitely the case here.
